Mohammad Fotouhi ontvangt een NWO Vidi-beurs. Geïnspireerd door de winterslaap van de natuur, wil hij de levensduur van composietmaterialen verlengen. Door delen van het materiaal rust te geven wanneer hun functie niet nodig is, wordt vermoeiing voorlopig bespaard.

A new study published in Nature unveils a surprising discovery: a substantial amount of meltwater is temporarily stored within the Greenland Ice Sheet during summer months. For the first time, an international group of researchers was able to quantify meltwater with positioning data.

The water and soil system has traditionally been an important basis for the development of mostly densely populated delta areas. Climate change also changes the existing conditions of the water and soil system; this has an impact on the future spatial economic compositions of deltas and their land use. On 8 November, Professor Anne Loes Nillesen (Urbanism) will give her inaugural address ‘Climate Adaptation; an Act of Design’.
